(The late) Pablo Escobar, the "the king of cocaine" was earning an estimated $420 million a week and at that time he was one of the wealthiest person in the world. So, he was quite talented too, no doubt.
However, not all talented people become rich and not all rich people are talented.
Here, in the city where I live, I know a man who lives in my neighbourhood since the last 5 years. He did not even finish schooling. Prior to these 5 years, he was working as a driver for a businessman. That businessman later joined politics and became a state minister for roads & highways. My neighbour, who was a driver for him, was very trusted by him and worked for many years, as a driver for him. So when this man became a state minister for roads & highways, he told this driver to stop driving and join him in forming companies and firms, in order for this politician (state minister for roads & highways) to whitewash kickbacks that are "juiced" out from roads & highways projects. And in my region where I live, corruption is very rampant. So, along with that state minister for roads & highways, this ex-driver, made a LOT of money. He is now very rich, has many luxury cars, lots of properties. But, he still has NO talents, apart from perhaps being able to drive cars properly.
So, it does not mean that to become rich, one necessarily has to be talented. Even in certain cases, people with no or very less talents, can also become rich. And this ex-driver who is now a multi-millionaire, does NOT even have the talent of networking with people. The politician (state minister for roads & highways), chose him for teaming up, ONLY because this ex-driver worked with him for many years and was trustworthy.
. And speaking in general, it is most likely out of envy
